I've been working on a Quad Panner that actually allows true panning, rather than balance, of a stereo file.

Is there a way to make the nodes automatable?

I have also tried with overlaid pictsliders, which could replace the nodes as the control, but need a way to bring the "clicked on" button's pictslider to the front, so when clicking on the right channel's button it will come to the front if behind the left channel's pictslider at the time:

All in all, I need one square with two x/y moveable by mouse buttons which are able to be automated and allow midi control when command-m-ing in ableton.

Bit of a bump, but I've got quite further with this thanks to the 

I have two problems I'm still now grappling with:

1) Zipper noise... I've tried line objects in a variety of places with a grain of 20. to 30. in a couple of places (now removed, but commented on where they were) in the [p log] subpatches (all 8), and also in the [p 2chanPan] subpatch (I forget where specifically now since I removed them).

Where is the best place to add the line objects to avoid glitches when moving the nodes) or the live.numbox(s)?

I think this may be due to having no set $1 message, although the max window shows no loop / short circuiting as far as I can tell.

2) Using the second outlet of autopattr does not remove the live.dial(s) from the automation list in the drop down menus in live, leaving them visible for automation, when ideally I just want to xy live.number boxes visible, along with the LFE/Sub sliders. Sending the message storagewindow to pattrstorage does not reveal these 8 live.dials but they are still automatable.

How can I remove these 8 dials from the automatable parameters? Have I patched these incorrectly to the pattrstorage object? Can I remove scripting / long names to help with this?

Could it be my miserable 4 GB RAM... I have 8 GB in my old MacBookPro, so I'm gonna swith these over soon?

Nearly there, so help would be greatly appreciated.

I have worked out how to remove the glitches and clicks using [number~] instead if [line] or [line~].

Even though no-one jumped in to help, I have put this here for anyone who may need this answer in the future.
